Settling Back in to Cville

First off, here is a picture of me at almost 30 weeks along in my pregnancy. I know I don't look that pregnant, but I certainly feel way more pregnant than I look. No crazy cravings besides really liking chocolate and being very happy about the spinach ricotta pizza that we ordered for dinner last night.

Yesterday, we took our first family field trip since getting back to Cville and went up to a "Taste of the Mountains" festival up in Madison, VA. We enjoyed the small town feel, the stands of fried food, the fun rural Virginia accents, and the neat wares for sale. We got our sweetheart a neat wooden crocodile pull-toy after the man running the stand was so nice as to give her a little wooden car just because. I also found two beautiful fused glassed pendants from a very talkative vendor from Austin, TX. We ate some fried fish, bought some homemade whoopie pies, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were home by naptime.

I also have tried to use some more of my homemaking skills recently and bought fabric to cover the pillows that came with our new couch. They were super easy to make and I had them made a day after I bought the fabric.

Manburger likes his new classes so far and enjoys his walk to school, since we finally live close enough for him to do that. I think his biggest stressor so far hasn't been any of his classes, but the multitude of callback interviews and subsequent flights he has to take in the next few weeks. Trying to fit those in while still having classes has been a challenge, but in a few weeks those will be over and we can settle down to law school as usual. Well, except for the arrival of our son sometime in November. C'est la vie...
